Insincere Apologies Novels & Stories

“Oh, no. There is no need for you to apologize. It was I who was being insensitive.” “Then you shouldn’t apologize too since you didn’t have any ill intention when you said that, right? As you stated, you were just being curious, so why apologize?” I was beaming from ear to ear, but the insincerity in my voice could still be noticed. I guess my mastery of faking my emotions and pretending is starting to fade away. Mara and I were still battling through our gazes when Tyler suddenly cleared her throat, causing Mara and me to finally lose our focus on each other.

"Mr. Verlice, sorry is never enough to fix everything, and neither is your money." I looked at him sadly, my heart heavy with the weight of my mistakes. He spoke the same words I had heard from Phineas, the same painful truth I already knew. My apology would not be enough to make amends, but I had to start somewhere. "If a heartfelt apology isn't enough to begin with, then what is?" I countered, my voice tinged with a hint of desperation. He opened his mouth, ready to retort, but then closed it again, the expression on his face indicating he did not have the answer.

How they are all clashing against me and they cannot feel a single fear in their bodies? “Don’t you all feel ashamed of hurting her when she hold much power greater than all of you combined?!” I was about to blow off another oad of bullshits to throw at them when all of a sudden, hey all apologized in unison. “I am sorry, our grace!” The fakery in their voices was evident which I despised to hea.It is not even genuine and it is hard to appreciate it all when it sounded like it was never meant it. I was about to speak again when I realized that eloise have gotten out of my sight. She refused to reply to their apologies because she knew that thye are not as genuine as they thought it would be.

I nearly hold my breath in anticipation of being one of the few or quite possibly the first person he has ever said ‘I’m sorry’ but I guess I overemphasized my sway over him because instead of a verbal, repentant apology, he cockily responds with, “Then consider the millions worth of debts I just swept into the wind as my apology” I roll my eyes, “So you think if you do this I’ll say yes? It doesn’t work that way, Marcus” “Of course it doesn’t, nothing is ever easy with you,” He sighed. “When did you become so hard to please?” “Are you kidding me? I’d rather you just be actually apologetic. What you said… what you did, was hurtful and you said it with the intent to do just that”

I muse quietly with happy sigh. “I’d say it was more the handwritten, heartfelt apology than the gifts themselves. Might want to ponder on the why of that, for a bit. Plus, that charity gala prank, you have planned – she will appreciate your cheekiness on that one. I would think about how to make it an extra memorable night for her.” He reveals and I know the why. I don’t have to think about it at all. It’s because I was genuine and not too proud to humble myself and admit that I was wrong and apologise. I remember calling myself an ass and not being afraid to add some humour.

“Because of everything I said, did, because of the pain, I caused you, even though I had my faults, it does not justify my actions, and I want you to know that I am truly sorry. “ I regret it, and I will try my whole life, to make amends to you, to be the man you want me to be,” he finished, in a quieter tone. “I know,” she said softly, caressing his face. “But I don’t want you to change, and I understand your actions, because I don’t think I would ever have the strength to tell you the truth to your face, it’s better if you’ve seen it,” her eyes watered, when she looked down, but he turned, gently, towards himself.

And I hope he won't take it negatively. There was a hint of understanding and sadness in his eyes, unveiling a vulnerability I hadn't seen before. "I'm sorry," he stated. "If I can only turn the time back, I will cherish you from the very beginning." His voice carried the weight of a thousand unspoken apologies, revealing the scars of missed chances and wrong choices. And from that moment, I know that his apology was sincere because after my outburst, I hadn't heard a single insult from him and instead, he gives me praises and compliments every time I ace the archery training session.

My voice was clipped and cold. I wanted her to know that I wasn’t interested in having a conversation with her. “I messed up so many years ago and I’m sorry.” She mustered a fake apology. I knew it wasn’t sincere. Jessica didn’t have any remorseful emotions in her body. My mother must’ve forced her to apologize. “I don’t know what you want me to say.” Jessica sighed. “I’m sorry. I fucked up.” She continued. “But I have something else to say.” I raised a skeptical brow at her. “I’m listening.”

"Firstly, I want to apologize, Sir." "Apologize?" Andreas interjected immediately. "Apologize for embezzling the company's funds? Or apologize for nearly driving Quantum Tech to bankruptcy?" "I apologize for all the wrongdoings I've committed without exception. I'm sorry for the unethical actions that caused you, Mr. Andreas, and others to incur losses. Deep down in my heart, I apologize." Andreas remained silent, studying Deasy's face. He tried to fathom the sincerity behind her words, to confirm whether her apology was genuine or mere talk.

Amery's syrupy voice interrupted me. "If you want to apologise, you have to be sincere, at least?" " Kneeling down should be sincere enough!"
